Liquid Network has resumed producing blocks after the attack that allowed the creation of nearly 4,000 LBTC not backed by bitcoins. The network is operational again, but users must still wait before they can make transactions or convert their BTC into L-BTC.
The links between crypto and traditional finance are becoming significant enough to attract more attention from the European regulator. In its risk monitoring report published on September 10, ESMA calls for close monitoring of this interconnection. Tokenized stocks, DeFi and prediction markets are directly cited. The regulator does not yet speak of an established systemic risk, but rather new channels capable of transmitting a crypto shock to the rest of the financial markets.
Bitwise will close BWOW, its Dogecoin ETF launched at the end of November 2025. The fund held only about 688,000 dollars in net assets as of September 9, according to data cited by Cointelegraph. Its last session on the NYSE Arca is scheduled for October 14, then the remaining investors will be reimbursed in cash around October 22. Less than eleven months were therefore enough to end this crypto experiment.

France's 10-year debt now yields more than 4.3%, an unprecedented level since the 2008 financial crisis. This increase does not automatically revalue all state borrowings, but it progressively weighs on their refinancing.
The Liquid network is going through a stage of its security incident. After the withdrawal of thousands of bitcoins, Blockstream now refuses all ransom demands. The company states it wants to recover the remaining funds without paying a financial reward. It plans to work with law enforcement, exchange platforms, and digital forensic experts. Liquid has resumed its block production but keeps bitcoin transfers suspended.
Zcash mining currently yields much more per unit of electricity than Bitcoin mining. At the beginning of September, an Antminer Z15 Pro generated about 708 dollars in gross revenue per megawatt-hour consumed, compared to 179 dollars for an Antminer S23 Pro dedicated to BTC. The ratio therefore approaches 4 to 1. This figure does not correspond to net profit: electricity, hosting, maintenance, and depreciation still need to be paid. But it is enough to explain why new miners are now looking much more closely at Zcash.
